Sunderland will hold out for big fee from Fenerbahce

Jeremain Lens is set to be one of the big January talking points as Fenerbahce look to keep him at the club for the long-term.

The 29-year-old Dutch international has spoken of his happiness at life playing for the Turkish giants, with his father pledging to speak to the Sunderland hierarchy to try and secure his future in Istanbul.

However, having signed for the Black Cats for an £8 million fee, Dick Advocaat’s side are likely to be sent packing unless they deliver a significant sum.
